Abstract

Business education is changing to consider how to achieve a sustainable future and develop responsible future leaders. This chapter explores theoretical pedagogical building blocks and practical steps for introducing a classroom drawing activity that seeks to inspire and encourage business, and specifically marketing students, to aspire to become more responsible marketers as key to encouraging transformative learning and developing transformative capabilities. Our use of the drawing method invites students to (re-)visualize their role as marketers considering current and future crises, challenging the notion of ‘business as usual’, and connects theory to practice affording students a sense of transformative agency. The activity focuses on ‘action’ in relation to doing marketing responsibly and thus emphasizes the notion of a practitioner who has the capabilities to contribute to our sustainable future.
